Switzerland promotes the competitiveness of Ukraine’s economy

Press releases, 19.09.2025

Switzerland is committed to supporting Ukraine’s economic recovery over the long term. The Federal Council therefore approved funding of CHF 30 million for the ‘Competitiveness for Recovery Ukraine 2026–2030’ programme at its meeting on 19 September.

The programme aims to promote an innovative, internationally competitive private sector that can lay the foundations for Ukraine’s successful reconstruction and long-term resilience.

Greater competitiveness is crucial to ensuring that Ukraine’s economy can grow over the long term and integrate into Europe. Innovation, local value added and better integration into international supply chains can make Ukraine’s economy more resilient, create skilled jobs and open up new export markets.

The Swiss programme supports the priorities of the Ukrainian government, which aims to boost the country’s competitiveness and implement reforms. It works with national and regional authorities and the private sector in Ukraine, forging links between Ukrainian and Swiss companies and creating new business opportunities. The programme demonstrates Switzerland’s long-term commitment to stability and prosperity in Ukraine and Europe and is an essential part of its Ukraine Country Programme 2025–2028.
